The military correspondent of tho
Tendon Aries at Dongola, in tho Soudan,
has received from llosti Penago, a Greek
merchant of Khartoum, n narrative of
the fall of that city and of Gordon’s
death, which differs from any yet given
to tho world. Of this Greek tho corre
spondent says: "Another ‘voice’ from
Khartoum is heard—a Greek who was
made to wear tho Mahdl’s uniform, and
in this costume walked down to lterher,
no man forbidding him. Ho then re
solved to escape altogether, and then his
troubles commenced. lie had no money,
but begged his way from village to vil
lage. Sometimes ho was hunted and had
to hide away; at others ho was made to
work as a captured slave by men who
knew him to be a Greek. At length,
after a period of 28 days from llerbcr, lie
reached Ahoudom, where, suspected at
first as a spy, ho was made prisoner, lie
was then sent down by Colonel llutlcr to
General Boiler, and arrived at Dongola
Inst Saturday. His very disjointed story
I will give you in his own words, trans
lated for mo by tho Greek interpreter of
tho transport department. It will be
observod that he emphatically declares
that Gordon was killed in and not out

Tho oporntiou is a very simplo ono nnd

tho Btock on which tho hud is set should

that it should bo two or threo years old.
All that is required is that the lmrk
separates freely from tho wood, which it
does generally during tho lnttor part of
thu summer; nnd whom it docs so, nnd
tho other conditions being right, thorc is
not the least danger of tho bud not

the Spanish nd venturers ever succeeded
in finding.
After they had expended tho wealth

the Spaniards worked tho mines of
Potosi nnd Ccrro del Pasco, nnd found
them wonderfully productive. Millions

Tlio Datourn Plant.
A Baltimore doctor who 1ms livod in
India described to a Herald reporter
some of tho mysterious plants belonging
to that strango country. Wo quoto:
"I hud an oxporieneu with tlio datoora
plant onco,” continued the doctor, mus
ingly, "that vory much increased my
respect for tho natives. The datoora
plant grows wild by tho side of ditches
und cactus hedges. It has largo whito
flowers, mid very dark green leavee,
From a distance it might bo raiBtukon

small quantities oauso temporary
insanity, and, in large quanti
ties, death or permanent idiocy. Tho
wondorful proportion of tho seed ure well
known, and tiiero aro regular gangs of
professional robbers who traverse the
country and despoil their victims, after
having placed them under thi influonco
of tho poison, which they concoal in
sweot meats. Ono ovening 1 put up at a
small village, at an inn. On tho veranda
1 noticed threo line-looking follows
dressed with more than customary clo-
gauco. Supposing them to bo dignita
ries of some sort, I scraped up an ac
quaintance through my guide, and wo
chatted in their own language until mid
night. I then retired, not dooming it
necessary to secure tho latch of my door.
I remember nothing after that until a
week after, when I awoko from wliat
seemed to mo to have been a pro
found sleep, to learn that I had been
poisonod by dutoora seeds by the
threo fine-looking scamps in good
clothes. They had taken literally every
thing of value I possessed, and I had to
cable to London for money. The guide
told me they found me in the morning
speechless, with my eyes wido open, in
the most ridiculous sort of a staro. 1
could walk about when led, but gave
unintelligible answers to questions put
to mo. 1 cun remember positively noth
ing of what occurred during that week.
All was a blank. My only sensations
wore tlioso of going to sleep nnd awak
ing. 'When a person dies of datoora
poisoning in that country they cover the
body with a cloth and some leaves, and
place it for three days in tho shade of a
sacrificial banyan tree, until the datoorn-
devil comes forth, when the body is

great extent superseded tho uso of hand
kerchiefs by the Thugs.”
An Ayah’s Terrible Revenge.
The steamship Yalcttu, which arrived
at Plymouth last evening, wns on tho
vovago tlie econo of a deplorable murder
and suicido. Among the passengers wero
Mr. and Mrs. Abbott, with two children
and a Japanese nyah. Mrs. Abbott had
occasion to rebuke the ayah, who became
much excited, and, in coosoquence of a
remark sho let fall, the children nnd
nurBO wero closely watched, In tho
evening, however, whilo Air. Abbott was
sitting with them in tho saloon ho turned
away for a minute, when the woman
seized the eldest child, a beautiful fair
haired girl six years old, and thrust her
through ouo of the ports, then jumping
out herself. Both fell into the sea, nnd,
although the steamer was stopped and
boats got out, nothing could be seen of
the child, who doubtless hud been
sucked down in the vortex caused by the
screw. The poor child was a general
favorit;. on board,—London Telegraph.
wisely lion riling this source of ivcnllh
nnd protecting it, tlie government of
Peru plunged into a system of reckless
expenditure, until tlio end of thu war
found its revenues cut off nnd the country
burdened with a debt of ♦250,000,000,
which it can novor pay.
But oven if Poru lmd bcon robbed of
all her guano, tlio deposits of nitrate of
soda, in the deserts along hor southern
coasts would luive mado lior rich again,
hut Chili has stolen tlioso also. Tho
wholo const, from tlio twenty-third to
tlio twenty-tilth parallel of latitude, ap
pears tube ono solid muss of this valuable
mineral tit for n hundred different uses,
and worth in tho market from forty to
sixty dollars a ton. It was discovered in
1811!) by an accident, tho hero of tlio
discovery being a forlorn old English
man by the immeof George Smith. There
is no telling how much lies in theso
mines, hut it is tho opinion of tboso who
hnvo explored tho country that at
the presont rato of oxenvution it will
tako oiglit or tou conturies to dig it
away
Under tho surfaco of drifting sand is a
crust of clay threo to live inches thick.
Tills crust covors a bod of crudo nitrate
from threo to Bix feet doop. tlie limits of
which have not boon measured. Yeare
npo, when its value was not fully recog
nized, plivato pnrties, mostly English
men and Gormans, went into the nitrate
beds, and by the self-enacted laws whioh
exist among ull mining settlements each
was allowed his claim. Then the gov
ernment of Peru nnd Bolivia stepped in
and prohibited further locations, but not
until enough had boon taken up to sup
ply tho market for tho rest of this cen
tury. Tho cost of mining is not much
greater than the cost of digging a ditch
in ordinary clay, and tho deposits aro
fifteen and twenty miles from tho sea
ports.
Tho nitrate is shipped crudo to the
market for fertilizing purposes, but there
tiro factories along tho coast in which tho
raw product is purified for chemical uses.
This purification is accomplished by boil
ing in water. The impurities rise to the
surface, und aro removed by skimming,
nnd tho heavy nitre settles at the bottom
of the vat nnd crystallizes nt n certain
degree of bent. Then tho water is drawn
off and distilled, producing the iodine of
commerce, (in article so valuable as to bo
measured by tho ounce and selling at $3
or St.
Tho nitre is shipped in bags of 100
pounds each anil tho iodine in casks
made of hard wood, which aro protected
by having hide covers shrunk around
thorn. Most of tho product goes to Eu
rope, nnd but a small proportion to the
United States. The harbors of Iquique,
Pisngua and Antofagasta, which arc
nearest to the nitrate beds, are full of
the ships of all the European nations,
but tho product is under the control of a
monopoly, tho producers having formed
a combination or pool to keep up the
[nice.
It was this product that caused tho
war between Chili and Peru. The mo
tive was tho joalousy of Chili, aud her
desire to acquire this rich territory, which
belonged to Bolivia and Peru; but tlio
ostensible casus belli was the act of tlio
Bolivian government in imposing an ex
port duty of toil cents per cwt. upon ni
trate. At the port of Antofagasta a
Chilian company had nitrate works, and
refused to pay the export tax. Tho Bo
livian government seized the works, and
was about to sell them at auction, when
a Chilian man-of-war appeared, landed a
force to protect tho property, and the
struggle began, which ended in tho
seizure of all the Bolivian territory on
the coast aud tho most southerly prov
ince of Peru.
Tlie most useful to mankind of all tho
natural products of Peru was quinine, the
drug made from tho bark of the cinchona
tree, which was discovered by a Francis
can friar in the cnrly days of the con-
quest, and call cinchona in honor of the
Countess of Cinchona, whose husband
was tho viceroy of Peru, in the early
days of Spanish dominion. Sho intro
duced it into Spain as a remedy for fe
vers, and there is no drug in the cata
logue that ims been used in such quanti
ties or with such success by suffering
mankind.
The entire supply formerly came from
Peru,and it was known as Peruvian bark,
but afterward the forests along the en
tire chain of tho Andes were found to
contain it, and it furnished one of the
seldom disturb it, for thu probabilities
aro that tho pair would go away and
never return.
Aftor tho down hns been gnthored, it
is taken Into a largo room in tlio farmer’s
lioiiso, nnd each nest, for tlio lining re
tains thu shape of a nest,is placed ou top
of n primitlvo arrangement that looks
like n lmrp laid tint, with strings of
leather laid across it. Tho neat is then
rubbod over tho strings, and tlie lichen,
moss, sticks, chips, nnd oilier parts of
tlio framework of tlio nest that nre mixed
with the down fall through to tho floor,
whilo sho down renmius in the operator's
bauds, Tho down is then packed and
brought to markot,and from here shipped
to all parts of tho world. The color of
tlie down is a surprise to many, for in-
stoiul of its being white;, ns somo people
imagine, it is u blue slato color, glossy,
nnd vory pretty. An immense amount
of it can bo crushed into n handful, but
it will resume its nutural form when re
leased.
Tho down taken from dead birds is
not ns good as that from the nes'ta. It
is not so light or so much like Boss silk
to tho touch. Iceland furnishes about
7,000 pounds of tho down overy year
that is of a superior quality.
The Grandest of Volcanoes.
Many havo attempted to scale Co
topaxi, tlio loftiest of aetivo volcanoes,
but tlio walls are in South America so
steep,and tlio snow is so deep Hint nssent
Is impossible, even with scaling ladders.
On tho south side of Cotopaxi is a great
rock, more than 2,000 feet high, called
tho “Inca’s Head.” Traditiun says that
it whs onco the summit of the volcano,
and fell on tlio day when Atahimllpa
was strangled by tho Spaniards. Those
who havo seen Vesuvius can judge of tho
grandeur of Cotopaxi if they can imagine
a volcano 15,000 feet highor, shooting
forth its fire from a crest covered by
3,000 feet of snow, with a voice that ho*
been hoard 000 miles.
A Chinese Barber.
Ono of the important personages in
Mott street is l.eu Ail, tho Chine e bar
ber. Unliko his American colleagues,
he does tho larger part of bin business in
tho stores or residences of hiB custoinors.
A reporter found him yostorday and was
shaved. The shave was a success. The
ehuir is a low throe-logged stool, on
which tho customer sits bolt upright.
Coat, waistcoat necktie, and collar arc
removed, and a common long cloth put
around tho neck. Tlie face and throat
uro washed with perfumed water nnd
dried with a soft towel, and remaining
moisture being removed by a vigorous
fanning. Tho shnving that follows re
sembles our own style, cxcopt that

tho hack of the neck and the temples,and
if tho eyobrowa aro irregular, cuts away
onough hairs to produce tlio symmetry

tion is what ho prides himself upon.
The razor is dried and put away; from
his kit ho produces two small ear razors,

und with these proceeds to embollish tlie
ears. Ho first shayes off the down on
the outsido, and then, with a doxtorous
sweep of tho wrist, the hair on the inside
of tho ear. The blade of this car razor
is about as large ns a match, nnd is con
caved almost into a crcscont. Tho son-
sation is pleasant rather than otherwise.
With his other instruments lie rubs and
polishes tho ear until its color is bright

The muscles of tho faco, scalp and throat
are kneaded, pinched and pulled, even

How to Put an Egg in a Bottlo.
A writer in tho Hand New Yorker tolls
the young folk how they may perform
tho magic feat of putting an egg in n
bottle. Like many othor things it is easy
enough when you know how. This is
the way it is done: Soak a fresh egg
for several days in strong vinegar. Tho
acid of tho vinegar will eat the limo of
tho shell, so that whilo tho egg looks tho
same it will be soft and capabio of com
pression. Select a bottle with a neck a
third smaller than the egg. With a lit
tle cure you will have no trouble in press
ing the iatter into the bottle. Fill the
bottle half full of lime water, and in a
few days you will have u hard-shelled
egg in a - bottle with a neck a third
smaller than the egg. Of course, you
pour off tho lime water ns tlie shell hard
ens. How the egg got into the bottle
will be a conundrum that few can an-

For Caterpillars.
The appearance of the caterpillar in
over halt of the counties of southwest
Georgia, nnd in a lew counties of the
east, southeast and middle Georgia is
noted, and tlie following directions are
given for their destruction :
The worms may be effectually de
stroyed with Paris green or London pur
ple. The lnttor is recommended in the
proportion of one pound to 80 or 90
gallons of water, lliis mixture should
be thrown in spray upon the infested
plants at tlie rate of 20 g.-llons to one
acre of ground. The Pavia green is most
conveniently applied in the proportion
of one pound to 25 pounds of flour dusted
through a fine cloth over the plants while
wet with dew. The London purple is
equally as effectual as the Paris green,
and is preferred ou account of its cheap
ness, and tlie greater facility with which
it may be applied. _

Latullo Asylum.
A woman has just been discharged
from the Pennsylvania State lunatic
asylum, whore sho has been confined
tweuty-ssven years, on a charge pre
ferred by hor father, “for extravagance
and eccentricity.” She had been a wo
man of extravngnnt taste, and a society
leader in h r younger days. Her father,
a physician, hnil become impoverished,
but tlio daughter did not acoommodate
herself to tho changed circumstances and
conliuuod to run up heavy bills for drese
and finally ordered a piano and set of
furniture, which she sold before paying
for them. Because of this act, and to
" save the family honor,” the girl was
sent to the asylum in 1858. Her father
died, aud his daughter remained in the
asylum until attention was called to her
case nt the National convention of chari
ties and correction, held in Washington
last June. Investigation developed the
fact that the woman never had boon in-

with n sound mind and healthy body.
